Suede lamination helps to improve the durability and lifespan of the printed material, making it resistant to wear and tear and ensuring that it maintains its quality over time.

Raised spot UV has a height of 50 microns, and full color printing and spot UV coating are available on either one or two sides of the printed piece. This allows you to create a wide range of design possibilities, from simple accents to complex, multi-layered designs.

  1. Choose the right finish: Spot UV is available in only available as a gloss UV option. 

  2. Do Not Use gradients: Gradients can be a great way to add depth and interest to your design. However, spot UV is not able to be used with gradients.

  4. Use it to add texture: In addition to adding depth and dimension, raised spot UV can also be used to add texture to your design. Experiment with different looks to create different textures and tactile effects.

By following these tips, you can effectively use raised spot UV to add depth, dimension, and texture to your design, creating a unique, eye-catching finish that sets your marketing materials apart.

Here are ten tips for using raised spot UV effectively in your design:

  1. Keep it simple: Raised spot UV works best for simple, flat designs, so try to keep your spot UV element as minimal as possible. A small accent can be very effective, but too much spot UV can be overwhelming.

  2. Use it sparingly: While raised spot UV can add a lot of interest to your design, it's important not to overuse it. Use it sparingly to highlight specific elements or create accents, rather than covering large areas of your design.

  3. Create contrast: Use raised spot UV to create contrast with the rest of your design. For example, you could use a glossy finish on a matte background, or use a raised spot UV element to draw the eye to a specific part of your design.

  4. Choose the right areas to highlight: Consider which elements of your design you want to draw attention to, and use raised spot UV to highlight those areas. This could be a logo, a call to action, or a key piece of information.

  5. Use contrasting colors: Raised spot UV works best when used with contrasting colors. For example, using a light color with a dark background can create a striking, high-contrast effect.
